Wow! The Mosquito, Spitfire, Harvard and others look good! On the Mosquito; it looks like the original fuselage rotted in the rain. Must've been left out. Well, it'll be better than knew anyway.

I have asked this before.

How close are they to also reproduce the wing ?

Maybee not as complex as the fuse, but for sure a complex job on its own

I believe they are not doing the wing, the wings for the Canadian example are being done in Canada.

Glynn also has the wing for this aeroplane. This will be his first wing.

The wing is rather more complex than the fuselage in many ways; dont underestimate that spar! It is also the wing that does the work...

Sorry - the wing for KA114; the Canadians are indeed making their own wing.

The Canadian one in Windsor is static only.

I guess that simplifies matters quite a bit :wink:
